Hi, I'm running samba Version 3.0.14a-Debian, this is on Sarge with an openldap backend. I lost the ldap db and have recreated all bar two machine accounts by rejoing the machines to the samba domain. Unfortunately two machine I have no local account for and they obviously can't log into the domain with out a machine account. I've added the machine account using: smbldap-useradd -i <netbios name> smbpasswd -a -m <netbios name> This has added the machine account to ldap (which for all other 17odd machines works fine) I've appended at the bottom of the mail the ldif for this entry. After all of this the machine can't browse to the machine due trust relationship failure. I also can't login to the machine itself. I'm guessing this is sid or NTpassword related. I've google for info on this and will continue to do so but as yet I've not found anything that gets me any further that where I am now. other info: net getlocalsid SID for domain SLARTY is: S-1-5-21-2025931060-2576866358-1020295239 smbldap.conf sid == above sid I've seen reference to 'rid' but none of my machine accounts have this, working or otherwise. Clients are all XP. Any info or solutions that you have would be appreciated.
